Hi everybody! I was originally active on another thread but can't keep up far too many messages [hard to get a word in] and the most people seem to be way further in their tww. As for me 32 ttc cycle #5 after chemical pregnancy in March..this will be 3rd and last baby..CD 19 today 4 DPO fingers crossed....who else is a similar dpo/point in their cycle? feel very lonely at the moment and the tww is always soo hard..😕

@Ec2808 not really, been running around daft after a 2 year old more than anything ☹️ hopefully tomorrow 🤞🏻 I said to DP that I have this weird feeling my left ovary doesn’t work. I know I probably sound ridiculous, but one month I get more obvious symptoms like one sided pain and increased libido and then the next month I get next to no symptoms 😅 last month was definitely the right hand side as I felt the pain and had increased libido but nothing anywhere near as obvious this month. I had a miscarriage about 5 years ago and at the time she couldn’t find my left ovary, although when I was pregnant they confirmed it was present, but I’ve just got this sneaking suspicion something is wrong with the left one. I’m still tracking bbt so that’ll be able to confirm whether I ovulate this cycle if not I guess! Hopefully I’m just being silly

Oh that’s a lot of DTD’ing, don’t fancy getting a torch shone in my face every other day 🤣

@HansBanansoh no really ?? Hopefully tomorrow then 😕😕 did you drink a lot today? I’m sure you’re peak is not far away..
smep they say to dtd from cd8 every two days and once you get your peak you dtd on peak day ovulation day and the day after..then you take a break one day and dtd again 🤣🤣🤞🏻

@Ec2808 my evening opk was very disappointing, didn’t even bother measuring it ☹️ how does smep work again?

@JupiterDaze oh no poor little one, hope they feel better again soon! Hopefully you don’t catch it and can have a successful few days of trying 🤞🏻

JupiterDaze · 26/07/2025 18:25

Hey sorry again for not replying ladies, been a whirlwind week! And just to add even more shit into the mix (literally) my 15 month old woke up with vomiting and diarrhoea this morning 🫠 poor little thing.

I’ve started getting EWCM today as well, currently CD7, so I’m worried about getting ill myself when it’s peak time 😭😂 I usually get ewcm for about 4 days or so before ovulating so hopefully everything will work out ok 🤞🏼

@Tes004 do you have any fertility lubricant that you could use to help the swimmers along? Have fun reenacting the honeymoon! 🤣

Tes004 · 26/07/2025 15:12

Almost fell off the loo getting a proper positive today - which is off as yesterday I had such bad right hand side pain thought I have ovulated then.
also no ewcm now !! Stopped 2 days ago, which slight concern as I thought it helped the swimmers reach the goal - now they are going to have to work harder lol -
after dtd 5 days straight because I thought I had ovulated- now going to have to pounce on him again- I’ll pretend it’s another honeymoon 😂

@rainbowsnack sorry to hear about your losses 😢 fingers crossed for a sticky little baby 🤞🏻🥰

HansBanans · 26/07/2025 14:35

@rainbowsnack I wish I had your willpower! Fingers crossed you get your positive and AF doesn’t show 🤞🏻🙂

I did another OPK and it’s dropped down to 0.39 ☹️

In fairness, I'm about to order more, I just want to wait until they arrive 😂plus I've had some MCs in the past so I don't want to get my hopes too high.

@rainbowsnack did you test again today?

No, currently only have one test left and don't want to waste them

HansBanans · 26/07/2025 14:11

@rainbowsnack did you test again today?

rainbowsnack · 26/07/2025 13:39

Well I'm due on in 4 days so F knows lol. I vary generally between 28 - 35 days though and my last cycle was 31 days so who knows when AF will appear XD

@Ec2808 oh yay that’s so exciting! I got a 0.71 for this morning’s OPK so no peak for me yet. Oh he did indeed! 🤣

Ec2808 · 26/07/2025 10:13

@HansBanansi got my first flashing smileys this morning so might get my peak a bit earlier this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻
oh god no he didn’t really ?🤣🤣🤣

HansBanans · 26/07/2025 06:39

@Ec2808 I’ve had ewcm quite early this cycle too but no rise in bbt yet and still no peak opk. DP’s idea of waking me up when he got in was to shine the torch on his phone in my eyes, couldnt understand why this wasn’t an acceptable way to wake someone up 😒

Ooooh i love talking cm! But i seem to have fertile cm multiple times during a cycle like before ovulation and then before Af so pregnant or not 🙄🙄 heeeeelp! I had some globs today but only cd8 🙄🙄🙄

OP posts:
HansBanans · 25/07/2025 17:42

@rainbowsnack I’m not good at telling the difference, but think ewcm is maybe gloopier? Don’t quote me on that tho! I got it in my luteal phase last cycle, but have seen people saying they’ve had it then getting their BFP so it seems to go either way!

rainbowsnack · 25/07/2025 17:28

Riddle me this... i seem to have EWCM again? Unless I'm mistaking it for watery CM? 😂So confused right now.
